Had a quick play with dynamic types in .net 4, good fun but the results were useless..

Lazy<T> does the same job

I am being frustrated in my attempts to abstract my business and model layers from each other by the cursed object typed parameter in framework methods

Editor/Display templates are great.. wouldn't it be nice to be able to supply additional view data with a strongly typed object or better still using named parameters?

The Service Locator has been getting a bad press for being an Anti-Pattern. I have used this pattern in the last version on my core code but I won't be using it in the next ...

Want XML from an other website via JavaScript (AJAX)?

It is so easy to get drawn in to the beauty that is IQueryable<> as an API

For those of you feeling adventurous there is a development version of meanie, which includes new features not yet fully tested

Now I want to talk about how the user is able to add and remove items from the collection through the one form and how to action this request

This is a lovely bit of recursion which will find the first occurrence of any number of sub-strings in a string, and allows you to add a number of "protection" delimiters so that strings inside will not be found

edit sub-collections in a parent view with a strongly typed model
add and remove items from the sub-collection
a single point of commit for all changes made on the form, parent and sub-collections

I like using resources for text, labels, link and button text etc. in my projects. It provides a consistency of UI, which is key when you are trying to sell a system. It also means I can translate a site to another language without separate pages and all the maintenance that would bring.

Writing an Add-in architecture for your project these days is simple, using the right tools, but .NET suffers from a drawback, in that, you cannot unload an assembly once it is loaded into your AppDomain
